Chapter 29

“The Silver Dragon Guards that Uzul brought together with him had attracted the attention of Behemoth.”

“It seems that Behemoth enjoys eating dragons. I believe that’s the reason Behemoth killed the Silver Dragon Guards. Uzul was merely caught in the crossfire.”

“I see!”

Bishop Salisbury nodded. “No wonder La Powo Palace’s intelligence unit claims that Uzul has been killed by rebel beast tamers. It seems that it was all a part of their scheme.”

“Hmph, did they really think that we would fall for such a ploy?”

“Bishop Salisbury, it seems this is not the extent of La Powo Palace’s schemes.”

Warpole Clifford suddenly frowned and said.

“Oh? What other schemes are they plotting?”

“According to the information that I’ve gathered, that person from Dragon City should be arriving here anytime now.”

“It seems that someone has informed the lord of Dragon City that his Silver Dragon Guards have been killed.”

“What? The Black Dragon of Dragon City is heading here?”

Bishop Salisbury’s expression changed slightly. Although Dragon City’s lord had yet to form a beast contract with any pet beast, his strength alone had intimidated even Salisbury.

Moreover, he had already left their nest and was heading towards the Oguapu Palace.

‘It must be due to the death of the Silver Dragon Guards.’

However…

Before Bishop Salisbury could finish his thoughts, an earth-shattering roar came from the second floor of the Oguapu Palace.

“Salisbury, don’t you think you should give me an explanation for the death of my Silver Dragon Guards?”

“Not good, it’s Whitehead. How did he arrive so soon?”

Bishop Salisbury’s expression changed upon hearing Whitehead’s voice. He subconsciously looked up at the sky above the Oguapu palace.

Meeting his gaze was a gargantuan black dragon that was approaching from the horizon.

Behind him were several adult dragons of various colors. In different circumstances, it would make for a majestic sight.

Before his voice had even subsided, they had already arrived at the Oguapu Palace.

Bishop Salisbury forcefully pushed down his discontent and immediately stepped forward to welcome them.

“Hehe, why are you so angry, lord? I was just about to contact you regarding the Silver Dragon Guars!”

Bishop Sainsbury smiled apologetically and continued, “It was indeed our Oguapu Palace’s negligence that had led to Uzul heading into the rebel territory alone.”

“However, the ones who are responsible for killing the Silver Dragon Guards are the rebel army’s beast tamers!”

Walpole Clifford and the others, who were standing next to Bishop Salisbury, had a glint in their eyes, but they did not say anything.

“The rebel army? Hmph, how could those weaklings even harm my Silver Dragon Guards!”

Whitehead’s enormous body slowly descended. Then, it morphed into a tall and gallant figure donned in pitch black dragon-scale armor.

“Regardless, Oguapu Palace must get to the bottom of this matter today.”

“This…”

Bishop Salisbury frowned, feeling that Whitehead was unusually difficult to deal with.

Just as he was thinking about how he should explain the situation to Whitehead…

Suddenly, a calm voice sounded from the depths of the Oguapu Palace.

“My old friend, please calm down. Perhaps this is our chance.”

“Hmm?”

Whitehead, who was still burning with anger a moment ago, suddenly raised his brows.

“Horace Julius, you’re still alive?”

A figure walked out from the depths of the Oguapu Palace.

He wore a silvery-white armor, and his hair was long.

Horace Julius, the previous bishop of the Oguapu Palace, was also the true leader of the Clarkswick Desert.

He was a beast tamer that had reached the peak of the Great Beast Tamer Stage.

However, due to his old age, he chose to remain in solitude.

There were rumors that he was already dead.

However, there were also people who said that he had revived.

“Hehe, I was only put to sleep temporarily.”

A hard smile appeared on Horace Julius’s pale face. He looked like a walking corpse.

“Your aura is also beginning to dwindle!”

Horace Julius chuckled.

“Unless one progresses to a higher stage, they won’t be able to live for long!”

“Horace Julius, did you wake up from your deep slumber just to mock me?”

Whitehead snorted coldly. Anger seemed to spew out of his nostrils.

“Of course not. The opportunity I’m talking about is the opportunity for you to break through again!”

Horace Julius grinned.

Then, he raised his arm and pointed in the direction of the rebel army’s base.

“The rebel army’s base is like a huge cake. We’re willing to share that cake with you. Perhaps, we might even become the strongest factions in this world once we’ve eaten that cake.”

“So what you’re saying is that you want my army to attack the rebel army alone?” Whitehead narrowed his eyes, and coldly responded to Horace Julius.

“No, no, no. How can we let the people of Dragon City fight alone?” Horace Julius laughed out loud.

“Of course we have to unite our forces!”

Julius raised his hand and pointed at the ranking board in the air.

“I doubt there’s a single faction in this world who would want the rebel organization to continue amassing strength!”

The rankings continuously refreshed.

“What? Another one from the rebel army? Will the rebel army dominate the rankings this time?”
